Fixed

A week of doping, match fixing, general disregard for fair play in Australia. So… is this really what sport has come to? We’re only just into February and two of the major sport stories so far this year have been about cheating.

Am I gradually going to have all my faith in sporting achievement crushed? I believe not (I just have to think back to the London Olympics) but this has been a pretty dark week. Win at all costs is the mantra for many a professional sportsman – but at what price to their integrity?

And the majority of sports involved – male dominated. What IS it with men and cheating? Seriously boys, it’s not compulsory – in any area of your life!

In other news England beat Brazil in a friendly. A fix, I hope not; a surprise, most definitely!
